Because of this, a prestige match might be expected in Mexico. Last weekend, following Messi returned from injury, he already got half a game in the league (he also scored a goal), but now he is already in the starting line-up, as are Suárez, Alba and Sergio Busquets.
However, the meeting did not go the way the guests would have liked. After more than half an hour, Monterrey took the lead following a huge goalkeeping mistake, and in the 64th minute they already led by three goals, so the identity of the next team was quickly decided. By the way, Suárez received a yellow card in the 70th minute, while Alba received a second yellow card in the 78th minute (he collected the first four minutes earlier) and was sent off.
THE FIRST GOAL OF THE HOMELAND
After Messi’s free kick in the first half, Diego Gómez made it even better, but Inter Miami still fell out of the cup with a double defeat, 5-2 on aggregate, once morest the Mexican top team. The team is now undefeated in five matches.
